Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2016;15(7):670-673
Experiment of pharmacy will inevitably cause a waste of resources and environmental pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to explore some green teaching method in the experiment of pharma-ceutics. Based on the long-term teaching experience, this paper took the preparation of yiyuan powder, the cold fever granules and tables, and subing dropping as examples to compare the differences between the traditional teaching method and the green teaching method in the aspects of improving the basic operating skills, saving materials and reagents and using the micro experiments. The results showed that compared with the conventional teaching, green teaching method in pharmaceutics experiment process can significantly reduce the reagent and the amount of raw materials, so as to enables students to cultivate green, energy saving, environmental awareness while mastering the pharmaceutical theory and technology.

Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2015;14(6):572-575
Objective To explore the differences of teaching effectiveness between the traditional experimental teaching method and the new one which is based on four steps of principle,design,correction and experiment.Method Stratified sampling method was used,and 120 students were divided into control group and experimental group.Taking the case of the preparation of powder,the two methods mentioned above were used respectively.The advantage of the new teaching method was that teachers only explained the experimental principle rather than the detailed process,and students designed the process and quality control standard by reviewing literatures.Through interactive evaluation between teachers and students,teaching effectiveness of the two methods was evaluated,and Excel and SPSS were applied for statistical analysis.Result There were no significant differences between the two groups in the aspects of experiment preparation,basic skills of experiment and understanding of knowledge (P>0.05),but in the aspects of experiment initiative,degree of cooperation and the enthusiasm of asking questions there existed significant differences (the values of P were 0.000、0.012、0.000,respectively,P<0.05).More than 95% of students thought the new teaching method not only could more effectively improve the ability to analyze and solve problem but also develop the capacity for self-learning and innovation.In addition,it could improve the ability to collect information and psychological quality,and cultivate scientific and rigorous attitude.Conclusion Compared to the traditional experimental teaching method,the new one based on four steps of principle,design,correction and experiment emphasized the subjective initiative,and teachers played a directive role.This method provided the space for students to think,explore,discover,and create.In addition,it could strengthen student's practical ability and the ability to design preparation process independently.

We engineered a disulphide bridge between two adjacent double-layered beta-sheet at the N-terminal region of Trichoderma reesei endo-1,4-beta-xylanase II(XYN II) by site-directed mutagenesis. The native xylanase XYN-OU and the mutated xylanase XYN-HA12 (T2C, T28C and S156F) were separately expressed in Pichia pastoris. Both xylanases were purified and characterized. The optimum temperature of XYN-HA12 was increased from 50 degrees C to 60 degrees C, relative to XYN-OU. At 70 degrees C, the halftime of inactivation for XYN-OU and XYN-HA12 were 1 min and 14 min, respectively. The optimum pH of XYN-HA12 was 5.0, similar to XYN-OU. However, XYN-HA12 could retain over 50% activity from pH 3.0 to 10.0 at 50 degrees C for 30 min. As for XYN-OU, it could retain over 50% activity from the pH value 4.0 to 9.0 at 50 degrees C in 30 min. The result of the mutated xylanase indicated that constructed disulphide bridge could improve its thermostability at relatively higher temperature.

A sensitive and selective method for the determination of imidafenacin in human plasma using liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry was established, and was applied to the pharmacokinetic and bioequivalence studies of imidafenacin in healthy Chinese volunteers. After the liquid-liquid extraction pretreatment, samples were separated by UPLC on BEH C8(2. 1 mm×50 mm, 1. 7 μm)column with mobile phase 2 mmol/L ammonium acetate solution with 0. 2% acetic acid and acetonitrile using gradient elution. The mass instrument was operated in the positive ion mode, and the monitored transition was set at m/z 320. 2→238. 1 and m/z 330. 2→248. 2 for imidafenacin and IS(imidafenacin-d10), respectively. In the single-dose, double cycle, self-crossover clinical trial, 24 healthy Chinese volunteers received 0. 1 mg reference or test imidafenacin tablet orally under fasting condition. Drug concentration in plasma was determined by this method and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 3. 2. 8 software. The linear range of the analysis method is 10. 0 pg/mL to 1 000 pg/mL. The extraction recoveries of the low medium and high concentration samples were 84. 0%, 88. 0% and 90. 0%, respectively. The matrix effects of low medium and high concentration samples were 105%, 100% and 101%, respectively. The pharmacokinetic parameters of imidafenacin for the reference and test tablets were as follows: cmax 524. 8 pg/mL vs 612. 6 pg/mL, tmax 1. 250 h vs 1. 063 h, AUC0-∞ 2 229 pg ·h/mL vs 2 466 pg ·h/mL. The reference and test tablets of imidafenacin were bioequivalent. This method proved to be rapid and accurate for the pharmacokinetic and bioequivalence studies of imidafenacin.

Objective:
Imaging parameters of Chiari malformation type I (CMI) development are not well established. This study aimed to collect evidence of general or specific imaging measurements in patients with CMI, analyze indicators that may assist in determining the severity of CMI, and guide its diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
A comprehensive search was conducted across various databases including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Embase, covering the period from January 2002 to October 2023, following predefined inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses were performed using RevMan (ver. 5.4). We performed a quantitative summary and systematic analysis of the included studies. This study was registered in the PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews) prior to initiation (CRD42023415454).
Results:
Thirty-three studies met our inclusion criteria. The findings indicated that out of the 14 parameters examined, 6 (clivus length, basal angle, Boogard’s angle, supraocciput lengths, posterior cranial fossa [PCF] height, and volume) exhibited significant differences between the CMI group and the control group. Furthermore, apart from certain anatomical parameters that hold prognostic value for CMI, functional parameters like tonsillar movement, obex displacement, and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics serve as valuable indicators for guiding the clinical management of the disease.
Conclusion
We collated and established a set of linear, angular, and area measurements deemed essential for diagnosing CMI. However, more indicators can only be analyzed descriptively for various reasons, particularly in prognostic prediction. We posit that the systematic assessment of patients’ PCF morphology, volume, and other parameters at a 3-dimensional level holds promising clinical application prospects.
